Now Showing In Budapest: 'Book of Eli'

Movie type: Action Adventure Drama - This is a somber, violent science fiction action drama that addresses serious issues about faith and religion, and as such may not exactly be what younger adult action fans are expecting this to be. Violent content and serious themes make this inappropriate for children.

Director: Allen Hughes, Albert Hughes

Script: Gary Whitta

Starring: Denzel Washington (Éli), Mila Kunis (Solara), Gary Oldman (Carnegie)

Length: 1 hr. 58 min.

Reviews:

Berardinelli, Internet Critic: “Above Average The Book of Eli is a decidedly mixed bag and not the most distinguished entry into the rapidly growing genre of which it finds itself a member.”

Roger Ebert: “Good I'm at a loss for words, so let me say these right away: "The Book of Eli" is very watchable. You won't be sorry you went. It grips your attention, and then at the end throws in several WTF!"

USA Today: “Average A didactic and humorless Western, Eli is too laborious for an action film and too brutal to be an inspirational tale. With its handsomely moody look, it seems more like an extended music video. Mostly, Eli is hampered by drab performances and a ponderous story.”

Dallas News: “Above Average There's strong potential for an interesting myth to be played out here, and there are occasional flashes of it. But mostly The Book of Eli is predictable and formulaic.”
